They're not trying to win. If they were there are so many ways to actually land blows against the GOP... "Weird" worked for a minute because they are weird!
Where I am from the Republicans are mainly redneck assholes with a lifted F-350, several guns, and several more child support payments. These fuckers are dumber than rocks but they act tough to hide how scared and pathetic they really are.
Then you have the dudebro white guys that all look the same because they are all wearing polo, khaki shorts, douche sunglasses combos. They are all Andrew Tate wannabes and are insufferable as a result. Also the Jordan Peterson fan club. Losers but they come from money...
And then you end up with crazy karens who popped out five kids before they turned 25 and didn't mature past middle school. Bunch of fucking Jesus freaks that go to every school board meeting and scream about banning books. They don't understand hypocrisy because they can barely read. The only thing they know about Christianity or the Bible is what they are told on Facebook pages like "Pugs for Pence", "Trump is our savior", etc.
There's a new type now, people of color, mainly men, who are super Jesus freaks and are now hard right. They hate abortion and anything LGBTQ and I guess stopped voting blue in spite of these beliefs. This has always been a big voting bloc within the black community but now seems to be breaking off from being disgruntled Dem voters. If this trend continues Democrats will not be able to win any state in the south for generations.
Republicans are child molesters. There's hundreds of cases of elected officials, priests, and far-right activists being busted doing SA or with CSAM. IDK why Dems don't put that picture of Trump with Epstein up everywhere... scratch that, I know why and it's part of why they can't rise to this moment.
They don't fight dirty, they don't play to win. This kumbaya shit seems to be a core value among the Democratic base. We can carve out our own base by focusing on going harder, offering real cures for what ails us and not just empty promises.
